Are we ready to respond to Haiti's rebuilding efforts?


Historically, America and Americans have always been within the first wave of responders in assisting our world neighbors in times of natural disasters, and again we share our resources in Haiti.
We all realize that reconstruction and housing will be a top priority, and we can all help in these efforts.
Networking - our means to sharing information, referrals, and services.
Have you heard this before..." we would like to help, but we do not know how to start or who to contact".
Sharing referral information could expedite the process for rebuilding Haiti.
What can you share?

  • Thanks Reese...who is listening up there? Now how do we get the responsible parties to respond? Do you think that the two predominant cell phone providers in haiti would participate in this venture? Would they include companies like ours in the restructuring plans? What is the next step? What beauracracy has the final control in distribution of relief aid to achieve this goal?
    These questions must be answered before anyting can get done. Reese... we desperately need others with political clout to intervene and shed the guiding light.
    Respectfully, Carl

  • Hey Carl, we need to do what the amish builders back east are doing. Send over a bunch of tuff sheds. We could put together all the out of work framers on assembly lines and pump them out by the thousands. On the ground building practices are so backwards there that tuff sheds would be cutting edge building technology. They need at least a half million of these tuff shed homes.
